The doorbell rang, and a voice called saying, "A message for Tweilight Sparkle and Spike."

"Huh? What time is it?" Twilight asked.

"It's 6:45 in the morning, Twilight. I think it's unusual that we receive messages from Princess

Celestia this early."

"Hey! How did you know these messages were from Princess Celestia?" the voice asked.

"Uh... lucky guess?" Spike replied.

"Oh, Spike. We always receive messages from Princess Celestia. That's why you knew the

name of the sender," Twilight elaborated.

"Oh. I think it all makes sense now," Spike said.

Twilight opened the door and saw the mail pony as expected when delivering messages.

"A message for Twilight Sparkle and Spike from Princess Celestia," the mail pony said.

Twilight grabbed the message with her horn's aura and handed it to Spike for him to open.

Spike cleared his throat quietly and opened the scroll. He read the message from Princess

Celestia.

"Princess Celestia has cordially invited Twilight Sparkle and Spike to participate in the 1000th

EGT at the West Castle Courtyard at 12:00 noon today and you are required to bring these

materials:

Your best gaming skills and fun

For this occasion, I will not only be presiding over the ceremony with my sister, Princess Luna,

but she and I will be gaming with everypony. I really hope you do look forward to challenging

us in the 1000th Annual EGT today.

Yours truly,

Princess Celestia."

"Oh, wow," said Twilight. "If Princess Celestia and Princess Luna want to game with us, it's sure

to be a fun experience and an interesting event indeed!"

"I know, right? I can't wait for it!" Spike said, happily thinking of what it would be like to

challenge Princess Celestia and Princess Luna in the EGT.

"And it's 6:50, so, we need to spend our extra time taking our gaming skills to the next level,"

Twilight said.

"Way ahead of you, Twilight," Spike replied, as he took out his gaming console and inserted the

controller jack.

And so, for the next 5 hours, Twilight Sparkle and Spike practice their gaming skills...

Princess Celstia came to Twilight's house to check up on her. She is going to miss the 1000th

Annual EGT without even noticing. Celestia heard noises inside, like somepony is playing an

8-bit game from 50 years ago. She opened the door and found Twilight and Spike playing their

individual games.

"Twilight Sparkle and Spike, are you ready for the 1000th Annual EGT?" Celestia asked.

"Oh, yes. We most certainly are!" Twilight replied.

"Then there is no time to waste. You must bring your best gaming skills and go to the West

Castle Courtyard immediately!" Celestia said imperatively.

"We will! Come on, Spike. To the West Castle Courtyard!" Twilight said.

But when they got there, it was a huge surprise. Twilight and Spike could not believe their

eyes.

"I can't belive all 1,048,576 ponies are here! Now I know what they mean when they say this is

a big occasion," said Twilight.

"Whoa. That's a big crowd. But where are we gonna go? The West Castle Courtyard is full!"

Spike said.

"Let's try the East Castle Courtyard," Twilight suggested.

But when they got there, it's also full.

"Is there no space for two more gamers?" Twilight cried in despair.

"The Center Castle Courtyard seems vacant enough," said Spike. "Let's try there!"

When they got there, it was just like they expected: just about enough room to game.

"This is gonna be a big competition," Twilight said. "Just look at how many ponies to defeat!"

"Aw, don't worry, Twilight. At least we will still have each other... I hope," Spike said, unsure of

the fact that they were gonna be together after 20 rounds of gaming.

What's coming up next:

It's now time for the EGT to begin! Mayor Mare makes some opening remarks and then

unleashes Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, who are wearing the ultimate gaming suits.

Now, Princess Celestia makes a few acknowlegdements as well. Princess Luna boldly

declares that she and Celestia are the ultimate gamers in all of Equestria and that they have

been practicing their gaming skills for generations and generations.

After all of that, the EGT finally begins!
